A health researcher was curious if women in India lived longer on average than men in India. They obtained data from a random sample of 216 records of people in India. Here is a summary of their lifespans (in years). Is there convincing evidence that women in India live longer than men in India at the 5% significance level? Lifespan Men Women Mean 67 70 Standard deviation 9 8 Number of people 104 112 Ho: ?Men = ?Women Ha: ?Men < ?Women Assume all conditions are met P-Value = **Do NOT round, copy EXACTLY from the applet**

First, we need to state our null hypothesis (H0) and alternative hypothesis (Ha). In this case, the null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the average lifespan of men and women in India, and the alternative hypothesis is that women live longer on Show moreā¦

Life Expectancies Is there a relationship between the life expectancy for men and the life expectancy for women in a given country? A random sample of non industrialized countries was selected, and the life expectancy in years is listed for both men and women. Are the variables linearly related? $$ \begin{array}{l|cccccccc}{\text { Men }} & {59.7} & {72.9} & {41.9} & {46.2} & {50.3} & {43.2} & {} \\ \hline \text { Women } & {63.8} & {77.8} & {44.5} & {48.3} & {54.0} & {43.5}\end{array} $$ $$ \begin{array}{l}{\text { (The information in this exercise will be used for }} \\ {\text { Exercise } 22 \text { in Section } 10-2 \text { ) }}\end{array} $$

Do women and men differ in how they perceive their life expectancy? A researcher asked a sample of men and women to indicate their life expectancy. This was compared with values from actuarial tables, and the relative percent difference was computed. Perceived life expectancy minus life expectancy from actuarial tables was divided by life expectancy from actuarial tables and converted to a percent. The data given are the relative percent differences for all men and women over the age of 70 in the sample. Men: -28, -24, -21, -22, -15, -13 Women: -22, -20, -17, -9, -10, -11, -6 Use technology to approximate the t distribution for this test. Do NOT use the conservative approach. What is the test statistic t? (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places.) t = ? What is the degrees of freedom of the test statistic t? (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places.) degrees of freedom =
